唐詩三百首英譯 硃慶餘：近試上張水部

七言絕句

硃慶餘

近試上張水部

洞房昨夜停紅燭， 待曉堂前拜舅姑。

妝罷低聲問夫婿， 畫眉深淺入時無。

ON THE EVE OF GOVERNMENT EXAMINATIONS TO SECRETARY ZHANG

Out go the great red wedding-chamber candles.

Tomorrow in state the bride faces your parents.

She has finished preparing； she asks of you meekly

Whether her eyebrows are painted in fashion.
